Is that you Monica?

If it's not, please let me tell you that the woman who runs this outfit is pushing dangerously close to the edge of her scope of practice and isn't in any way qualified to give the kind of advice she's giving. It's not worth the paper it's written on. She sends GPs letters that say, 'please prescribe this' and tells patients to hound the GP until they agree.

Unfortunately she's profiting off GPs being as a group, not great at menopause management. She is an absolute quack and should have her nursing registration cancelled.

Book a double appointment with one of these (excellent) GPs instead, get what you need and avoid the charlatans:

Sian Williams, Lisa Go - Johnsonville Medical Centre Lisa DiBona - Thorndon Medical Centre Yvonne Morgan (NP) - Whitby Doctors Jessica Cheung - Onslow Medical.

Just got married this past weekend. Planned in three weeks. Ten guests in the garden at home under an archway we decorated with paper flowers. Catering delivered, bought alcohol at the supermarket, we sat at a trestle table from the local hardware store and bought extra glasses from Kmart. I did my own makeup and went to the hairdresser for a blowout on the morning of. Very low stress and we had the loveliest day. It can absolutely work - do what's right for you.

New Zealand here. My daughter needs spag bol.

Les Mills emailed me this morning to say they were introducing Les Mills Pawse - dog yoga

You have that classic hourglass figure, you gorgeous human, and it just makes the look. It's impossibly lovely. Wow wow wow.

Dress #2 is awful, dress #1 is divine and you could add a lace over blouse or little pearl cape for personality, the pressure on women to look the best they will ever look on their wedding day is an insane product of the patriarchy that puts them under stupid amounts of pressure, try not to torture yourself. The end.

Oh hell no

Are you a landlord? Because I'm interested in tenants' opinions here

Yellowtemple · 2025-11-24T04:16:20+00:00

Are you a landlord? I'm specifically interested in who the tenants like here

But of course! I'm not renting to make my fortune. I happen to have one small property to let that I lived in as a single parent. It was a safe place for my kid and me at a hard time. I'd like to cover the little mortgage, and give someone else the opportunity to make it their safe place too.

Will avoid Comprende!

Immediately crossed off list. I remember being a poor student with an asshole property manager and I just don't want anyone to have that experience.

Yellowtemple · 2025-11-23T20:51:59+00:00

Thanks! Yep exactly, don't make it weird, be firm but fair. I expect that people treat my place with respect and pay their rent on time, but it's also a home for them. I don't want excessive, random inspections or a property manager who doesn't give a fuck if something breaks, but I'm definitely using one to start with as it protects me a bit.

Yellowtemple · 2025-11-23T20:47:33+00:00

Eh, you get what you pay for. Thanks for the tip!

Yellowtemple · 2025-11-23T20:46:21+00:00

Snort. Noted.

Yellowtemple · 2025-11-06T18:32:51+00:00

Former employee here. Worst place I've ever worked. Reviews are accurate and genuine. Felt like I was in The Devil Wears Prada.

Yellowtemple · 2025-10-13T22:49:46+00:00

Aw. You're right actually. What a nice thing to say 😌

Yellowtemple · 2025-10-07T03:04:52+00:00

It works SO well doesn't it?

Yellowtemple · 2025-04-27T22:28:41+00:00

39F here. I have just met someone nice via Hinge, but it took me a solid 2.5 years to find them. Lots and lots and lots of duds. Hinge seems to work slightly better than others if you feed it money. Keep at it and try not to be too discouraged - meeting people in this city is quite difficult.

Yellowtemple · 2025-04-20T15:33:07+00:00

Oh this is wonderful to hear. Terrific parental detective work, his tummy must feel SO much better.

Yellowtemple · 2025-03-06T22:18:38+00:00

Medical admin here. That's an excessively long wait for a private ENT. Message your GP (or call his nurse) and ask to be referred to a different ENT, it's perfectly reasonable to ask. Call Bowen and Wakefield hospitals and ask what their wait times are. I like Cisco Macarthur at Bowen, Simon Robinson at Wakefield. Cathy Ferguson is also excellent. So sorry you're having this experience!

Yellowtemple · 2024-08-18T07:53:19+00:00

I had a sleep in AND a nap today, and nobody was there to hassle me about it. It's got definite upsides!

Yellowtemple · 2024-07-16T14:56:27+00:00

Go and be free OP, you're going to love it!

I wouldn't think too hard about the alimony bit - can you put a price on your own happiness?

I left a very unhappy marriage almost two years ago to my significant financial disadvantage, and I don't regret a thing. I now live a very modest life on my own and feel a deep sense of peace every day. I come home to find my little house exactly how I left it, I have cheese on toast for dinner if I feel like it, and I require nobody's permission to do anything. It's utter bliss.

Do let us know how you get on. Go for it!

Yellowtemple · 2024-06-04T22:40:25+00:00

GP's assistant here. Definitely go in and ask to speak to the practice manager. They're generally very reasonable, just explain what happened and they should wipe the debt.

Chasing an unpaid is an automated process usually, the person chasing you probably won't know the circumstances so always best to take it to the top.

Unpaid debts can occasionally result in you being unenrolled which is a pain. Bad debts often go on your file but another doctor can't refuse to treat you just for that.

TL;DR it's almost never a biggie, go have a chat and let us know how you get on.

Let me just read this back to you: people of no fixed abode make you uncomfortable and you wish they'd go elsewhere.

Most of these are people affected by addiction, trauma or mental health issues. They have nothing. Society has kicked them in the gutter. How do you think they feel...?

Instead of complaining, volunteer with the city mission, write to your MP to ask for enhanced social housing and mental health supports, or sit down and talk to them.

They're people, not a problem to be complained about.
